Yeah the term seems to have lost any agreed upon meaning.
In the UK liberals and socialists both considered themselves part of the Labour Party. Since Covid the Labour Party is certainly no longer Liberal if we take the term to mean concern for individual freedoms and human rights such as free speech.
So there are a lot of former left liberals floating around now politically homeless. 😄
That's very similar to the situation in America. Many former Democrats consider themselves "disaffected liberals".
